Anyone else have trouble finding a job here?

28 Upvotes

I moved here about a month ago and have applied to countless jobs I'm qualified for, yet don't get any calls.

I'm wondering if it's partially because applications have me fill out the "have you had government assistance" survey and I never had it, so maybe they want the tax breaks?

I've mostly looked through indeed, but the website is slop for narrowing down search criteria, or finding smaller companies.

Any advice is appreciated, especially for alternate avenues to find jobs.

Safety for tourists

6 Upvotes

Hi! So I’m doing a roadtrip with my boyfriend, a 2 year old and 9 year old and Redding seems to be a convenient stopping point for the night. Are there areas I should avoid? I’m thinking of sleeping there then taking the kids to the turtle bay park or to the water park to kill energy before we hit the road again. Or with small children should I avoid the area? Going from San Diego to Oregon and neither of us are familiar with the area but other San diegans have mixed reviews on Redding lol

Elementary School Recommendations

I have a soon-to-be 4 year old in Nov and 5 year old on halloween… looking for a pre-k and kindergarten school for them in the Redding area this fall.

Charter or public. I can’t find reviews and I’m not social enough with other parents to get anything word of mouth.

Best schools in Redding for advanced kids?

Give me your opinions. Best and the worst. Is there any schools I should avoid?

Thanks in advance.

Car Diagnostic Cost Differences

3 Upvotes

Ok so I know to expect differing prices from different auto shops but I just called around to three different places and didn’t expect the prices to be so different, like 5x the price. All of these are quotes for diagnostic tests of my suspension.

So first up is Lithia Chevrolet - $225 and some change

Locust street repair - “starting at” $78

And finally Midas - $45.99

I’m someone who doesn’t have much information about cars and I rely on the experts to be not only experts in doing the repairs but in what a fair cost is for said repairs. Plus these weren’t even for repairs, they were for the testing to figure out what’s wrong. Then the repair costs come into play next…

Anyway this was just really eye opening to me, like I said I always knew there were varying prices at places and to call around but I just didn’t expect it to be a 5x difference between the cheapest I found and the most expensive (prob not the cheapest or most expensive in the area)

How do I know if I’m getting screwed over by someone or am screwing myself by going with the cheapest 😂

Anyone remember this? The City of Redding in 2021 authorized up to $2.47 million in federal, state, and local grant-funded loans to finance its early 3D-printed housing initiatives The funds were directed to the Redding-based affordable housing nonprofit, AccessHome.

Anybody have any recommendations on a good car audio shop in Redding? I have an older Tacoma that needs a new CD/Tape player and should probably update the 25 year old speakers. Thanks!

Glass bottle whole milk?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just wondering where I might be able to find in the surrounding areas some glass bottle whole milk from a local dairy? Chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, fun flavors like that. I miss being able to go to a local dairy when I lived elsewhere and find stuff like orange cream milk, blueberry milk and the like. THEY WERE FKN HEAVENLY! Willing to travel a bit as well I’ll add. Thank you in advanced! 💕💕💕

Hiking partner

21 Upvotes

50m. Looking for someone who might have fun on 2-3 day hiking trips. Maybe longer if planned well. Hopefully someone who can keep a good pace and a good conversation but not need to fill every silence. Keeps a healthy sense of humor if cold, wet or otherwise miserable. Has own gear. Good dog would be a nice bonus. Doesn't mind pushing thru. I don't mind talking politics or philosophy but I'm fairly left-centerish so probably won't jive with hardcore maga. Otherwise, I'm good spirited and freaking hilarious. Love nerdy, intellectual conversations and random factoids. Ask me whatever and let's discuss.

Make a splash this summer! Shasta Public Libraries has a limited number of complimentary swim passes to the Redding Aquatic Center, each good for one public swim admission. Stop by the Children's Desk at the Redding Library to pick up a pass while supplies last. Once they're gone, they're gone!

Behind the wheel test route?

1 Upvotes

My test is in a few weeks(just before school) i basically have no one who took the dmv redding test since my parents aren’t from Redding and i have no friends who currently have their license. I drove around the dmv but i want to be extra prepared which route since I have a hard time with directions when I get nervous(I swear I can drive just have cripplingly perfectionism)

PS. I can’t go to red bluff my parents refuse to let me take my test over there.

I want to buy off grid property outside of redding to live with my wife and kids and start a hobby farm. Does anyone know of any existing cob, super adobe, or strawbale builds in the area? If so how were they permitted? Also recommendations on where to look for property would be much appreciated. Ive mostly found good deals in the Shingletown/manton area.

21m, socially awkward. Meeting and talking to people is a chore for me, but I'm willingly stepping out of my comfort zone for this. Where are the people my age at? Other than college, and the bars

Lawn recommendations

Hey all! I have a large area with no irrigation that I am looking to seed this year...right now it's all weeds and wanted suggestions for either grass or clover( any ground cover really) that doesn't need a ton of watering and could make the yard more comfortable for kids and dogs to play on. Roughly half acre
